“Composed by Henri Tomasi, this version of Holy week in Cuzco is arranged for Trumpet and Piano (or Organ). Dedicated to Maurice André, this piece is difficult and requires the skills of an advanced Trumpet player. This work sounds really nice and would work very well for a recital. It is divided in three main movements, the third one being a repetition of the main theme (first movement). Henri Tomasi also composed a variety of concerti for Alto Saxophone and for Trombone, as well as some ballades.�.

Hope Remains Within was commissioned by and composed for the Mount Nittany Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Concert Bands. Having heard the students of Mount Nittany perform another work of mine, I was very excited when their director, Johanna Steinbacher, approached me about writing a piece specifically for them. I knew right away that I wanted to write something that would tie in with their non-music curriculum in some way, but I wasn't exactly sure how, or what. Johanna talked to some of her students and learned that, in 7th grade, the students spend a good deal of time studying mythology in their English class. In particular, two clarinet students mentioned how much they enjoyed the story of Pandora. As such, I decided to use that story as the basis of this composition. Hope Remains Within doesn't attempt to re-tell the story, event by event, in musical terms. Instead, my goal was to address what seems to be one of the central issues of the Pandora myth. Though there are some variations, we probably all know the basics as told by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. Zeus decides to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven and giving it to humans. He and the other gods create Pandora, a beautiful and deceitful woman, and they give her to Prometheus's brother Epimetheus as a bride. Pandora is herself given a jar (according to many sources, jar seems to be a more accurate translation for what we commonly call Pandora's box) which contained numerous evils, diseases, and other pains. Out of curiosity, Pandora opens the jar and releases all of these evils into the world. But one thing remains in the jar: hope. The issue of hope seems to be one of the big interpretive questions of the Pandora myth. Why does hope remain within the jar? Why doesn't it come out of the jar to help humanity? Is hope being held on a pedestal of some sort? Is hope deliberately withheld from humanity? Why was hope in the jar with all those evils in the first place? I'm not enough of a mythological scholar to claim to have definitive answers to those questions, but these are the questions that I've tried to engage from a musical perspective in Hope Remains Within. I encourage the students and listeners to consider their own ideas of what hope is, and where you can find your own hope when needed. Musically, Hope Remains Within draws one of its main themes from the Prometheus Symphony by Alexander Skryabin (Scriabin). The note sequence F-D-Gb -F, heard near Hope's beginning played by alto saxophones and chimes, comes from the opening measures of Skyrabin's work. Given the important role that Prometheus plays in the Pandora myth, this seemed like an appropriate musical gesture to quote. This Prometheus motive is varied throughout the course of the piece, and even provides closure at the end, recast in a major key. Additionally, I have tried to involve a manageable amount of chromaticism in this piece. I have worked from the key of Bb major, no doubt familiar to every student who has ever played an instrument in a band. But I have added three extra notes: Db, Gb, and Ab, which are drawn from the key of Bb minor. During the piece's slow opening, I have allowed these minor key pitches to mingle freely within the Bb major tonality, adding extra color and (I hope!) beauty. As the piece progresses, though, the tempo increases, and we lose sense of the Bb major key entirely, and these extra notes play a more important role. But finally, Bb major returns triumphantly and all the extra notes are gone, except for a brief memory near the very end. (Ok, there are a couple of E-naturals that sneak in there along the way. I couldn't resist.).

Comme tout professeur de piano, je suis continuellement en quête d’idées pour motiver les jeunes et moins jeunes élèves à la découverte de l’instrument.
Le répertoire pour Piano Quatre Mains accessible aux débutants est assez restreint. L’écriture pianistique en ce genre doit prendre en compte une faible technique pianistique et des notions de solfège en cours d’apprentissage, sans que tout cela ne nuise au rendu musical.
C’est pourquoi j’ai eu l’idée de créer ce recueil « grands débutants », attentif à ces difficultés, recueil où tout jeune pianiste peut aborder dès son premier cours, avec son professeur ou un autre élève, une pièce à Quatre Mains. L’expérience, appliquée en premier lieu avec mes élèves, est réellement enrichissante : elle révèle l’importance du rythme, renforce la musicalité, la motivation, et surtout, amène le partage de la musique et l’écoute de l’autre.
Comme anecdote…j’ai donné à un élève de six ans, qui en était à son deuxième cours, l’étude d’une des premières pièces de ce recueil. Rapidement acquise, je lui ai dit que nous allions la jouer ensemble à quatre mains. Après quelques mesures, étonné du rendu sonore il m’a souri, car à ce moment là il était déjà Pianiste.
Musicalement
